Lock down lament

[Doug Thompson]

Lock down lament

We never saw it coming, it came out of the blue
everyone is touched by it, they don't know what to do

such a tiny thing it is, that we cannot even see
racing around the world, caring not for you or me

it cares nothing for the borders, or the passports they demand
it cares not for legislation, as it travels over land

the oceans were no barrier when it boarded ships with ease
and aircraft flew it around the world, like leaves upon the breeze

now all of us are prisoners, we dare not go outside
and our jailer is a virus, which is waiting, while we hide
